A Catalogue of the Chess Colle6tion of the late Professor George 
Allen scarcely requires an introdu6lion to the attention of the friends of 
that accomplished gentleman or of persons interested in the subje6l to 
which the works described in it relate. The Library is the result of 
twenty-five years of devoted labour on the part of the learned colle6lor 
of it, and justly enjoys the reputation of being, of its kind, the finest 
in America, and ranks with the three or four best similar ones in Europe 
and the world. It comprises about a thousand printed volumes, besides 
two hundred and fifty autograph letters, and fifty engravings and pho' 
tographs. 

The principal Treatises upon the Game are, of course, included 
in the Colle6lion, and in the rarest editions as well as in those more 
readily obtained. There are copies of five of the first eight editions of 
Damiano — one of them, the earliest, not known to exist in any other 
private library— besides Gruget's version and Franz's and von der Lasa's 
modern one. There is a copy of Ruy Lopez in the very rare original 
Spanish edition of 1561 and one of the rare Italian translation of Tar- 
sia, one of the first edition in French and three others of later dates. 
There are two copies of Selenus's "Schach-Spiel" and one of his cu- 
rious "Cryptomenytices et Cryptographia" , also "Selenus Contracflus" 
and Hiittner's "Ludus Latrunculorum" of 1650. Of Greco's popular 
Treatise fourteen editions are represented, among them the English 
version of 1656 and the first French one of 1669. There are copies 
of the scarce "Libro" of Gianutio and of all three editions of Salvio's 
works. The extremely rare Italian Carrera is also here, and in a copy 
of peculiar interest as that from which the great chess-author Mr. Lewis 
made his translation of the work: of this there are two copies, one 



printed on large paper. There is a copy of Lolli, and there are five 
of Heinse's Anastasia, including one of the first edition and one in 
Dutch. Ponziani appears in as many as eleven editions good and bad. 
There are copies of Barbier's and Berlin's works. Of Stamma, the 
first and second and two later editions in French, the scarce first edi- 
tion in English and Mr. Lewis's two subsequent ones, all the German 
editions, and the Italian one of Wunsch. The Treatises of Philidor 
occur in a multitude of editions colle61:ed with the greatest care by the 
painstaking Author of his "Life". There are seventeen copies in 
French, including three on large paper, one a subscribers' copy, eleven 
in English, ten in German, one in Danish, three in Dutch, three in 
Spanish and one in Russian; besides Pruen and Pohlman, two copies 
of Kindermann, nine of Pratt, and six of the "Easy Introdu6lion" ; 
as well as a MS. copy of six blindfold Games, not known to exist in 
duplicate. A copy, formerly Mr. Lewis's, of Count Cozio's rare work. 
All five editions in French and German of the "Traite des Amateurs". 
Stein, both the original edition in French and that of Delarue, and one 
in Dutch, Van Zuylen van Nyevelt, in both French and Dutch. All 
the editions of Allgaier. Both editions of Koch's "Schachspielkunst' ' . 
Among more modern authors, three copies of Sarratt's "Treatise", one 
of the scarce first edition; besides his Translations from the earlier 
Masters of the Game. Well-nigh complete colle6lions of Lewis's, Wal- 
ker's and Staunton's manifold works, including several beautiful copies 
printed on large paper. La Bourdonnais in French and Russian. 
Alexandre's "Encyclopedic". All of Jaenisch's chief productions. 
Von Bilguer's "Handbuch" in all editions from 1843 to 1S64, three 
copies on thick paper, and several presented by the editor. Six presen- 
tation copies of the "Leitfaden" and others of von der Lasa's works. 
Lange. Dufresne. "Chess made Easy". W. S. and Charles Kenny's 
books. Portius. Also a great many Introductory Treatises and others 
of less prominence. Books of Games are largely represented. There 
are two copies of Ringhieri's rare "Cento Giuochi", and one of Bru- 
netti, on thick paper. The curious "Das Zeitkurzende Lust- und Spiel- 
Haus". "La Maison des Jeux Academi(;[ues". Copies of nine editions 



of ''Academies des Jeux", "Di6lionnaire des Jeux". "Le Royal Jeu 
de r Ombre" and "L'Hombre Spiel". Casar and Abenstein in five 
editions. Swedish and Danish Game-books. Charles Cotton's "Com- 
pleat Gamester" in the first and second and a later edition; Sey- 
mour's "Court Gamester" and "Compleat Gamester" in four editions; 
and ten editions of Hoyle. Many books relating to Chess Tourna- 
ments, National and Iiiternational, and others upon Special Trials of 
Skill between Celebrated Champions of the Game. 

The colle6lion of works regarding Chess Problems is especially 
fine. It includes all the editions of "Les Stratagemes des Echecs", in

Such is a brief summary of the principal articles of the following 
catalogue, indicating in some measure the richness and comprehensive- 
ness of the colle6tion there described. A mere glance at the Lists of 
Autographs, Engravings, and Photographs will suffice to assure the 
reader of the value of these portions of the Library, and special allu- 
sion to them is deemed superfluous. 

The books are in the best condition, even the bindings of a large 
number of them evincing the exquisite taste of the cultivated gentle- 
man who colle6ted them. For the descriptions of these the compilers 
of the catalogue are indebted to the courteous assistance of Colonel 
John P. Nicholson, of the firm of Pawson & Nicholson, Philadelphia. 

The titles of the works have been given with considerable fulness. 
For the accurate transcrijjtion of the great majority of them our thanks 
are due to Mr. Charles Berault ; for those in German to Mr. Jas. Stuart 
Dickson, a student in the University. 

Philadelphia, August, i8j8. 



[I could not allow my name to appear on the title page of this catalogue, without stating that I have 
merely had to attend to the business arrangements; the whole labour of preparing the MS. as well 
as reading the proofs having been performed by my friend Mr. Keen, with the assistance only of the 
gentlemen named above.
